Older shows and minicasts unavailable?

A little over a week ago I was doing some web-surfing and searched for the word "Grooks". (An acquaintance writes short poems similar to the ones Piet Hein published under that name and I'm discovering that all the books are out of print and surprisingly expensive on the secondhand market.) One of the links led back to the "A Way With Words" site where I learned that a minicast older than any I've got saved on my hard drive made reference to Grooks.

Unfortunately, although the entry for the minicast has a link to download it, the file no longer seems to be where the link thinks it should be.

A couple of days later I discovered a similar situation where a show that mentioned "insegrevious" (a word invented by one of my heroes, Gary Owens) was also unavailable.
